RADIAL CAM

In addition to the data for the CAM, it is also necessary to enter the data for the type of FOLLOWER.

Note about Opposed / Receding:

Depending on the rotation of the cam (Clockwise)
it is considered a Frame with Opposing Follower when the force on the Roller is directed towards the Lever Pivot.
Depending on the rotation of the cam (Clockwise)
a Frame with Receding Follower is considered when the force on the Roller is directed in the opposite direction to the Lever Pivot.


CONJUGATE CAM / MISALIGNED FOLLOWER

For a Radial Cam, and where admitted, it is possible to calculate the Conjugate Cam profile and/or the Cam profile using a misaligned follower

Since version 4 of CMM2000, a new Desmodromic Cam configuration is also available in which the two Cams, with different Profiles, are not concentric but rotate on two axes having a user-definable distance.

The Additional "Added Translating Follower" options allows you to insert the movement of a translating roller into the lever mechanism. In this case, the User will define the curve referring to the center of the translating roller and the program will calculate the shape of the Cam that moves the lever roller.

The "Rocking Lever" option allows to calculate the cam profile by inserting the motion curve with respect to the position given by the length of the return rather than with respect to the roller center that will rest on it.
The Rocking Length [RV] value must be negative if the point where the curve are defined is, with respect to the Pivot point, in a position opposite to the roller.

Selecting the option Internal / External it is possible to obtain the Solid Models as represented in the
following images.

By coordinating the type of Internal/External with the frame that defines the conjugated cam, it is possible to obtain all types of desmodromic cams .
